ClimateGate is Watergate redux The real scandal is not the email archive, or even how it was acquired, sorted, and uploaded to a Russian server, but rather the emerging evidence of a coordinated international campaign to target and harass climate scientists, break and enter into government climate labs, and misrepresent climate science through a sophisticated media infrastructure on the eve of the international climate talks.

ClimateGate and the UN: Red Scare Over Green Lies Believe it or not, the UN just whined that climategate is the Russian’s fault. It appears that the United Nation’s position is that the obvious cover-up of the false doctrine that is global warming perpetrated by global warming “scientists” is not the fault of the lying scientists, but that of the assumed “paid” Russian hacker that hacked the globaloney scientist’s emails and exposed the cover-up to the world. Convoluted reasoning, no?

G77 and China criticize West for shifting responsibility on climate change COPENHAGEN, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — Th Group of 77 and China on Monday criticized industrialized countries for their attempt to “shift responsibility of addressing climate change and its adverse effects on developing countries.” . . . The developing countries also reject developed countries’ objective of “concluding another legally binding instrument that would put together the obligations of developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol and similar actions of developing countries.”

GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE CHANGE, AIR POLLUTIONIn fact, when you think about oil — let’s take Exxon for an example — what the global warmists are trying to do is to demonize coal. Why? Because coal emits more carbon dioxide than oil or gas. Well, if they do that — if they prevent the use of coal — it figures that it makes oil and gas more valuable. It drives up the price. Exxon has huge reserves of oil and gas. So, in a sense, Exxon should benefit from global-warming alarmism.
